    Yeah I could probably work around 65 gn if i wanted to push to the max.

    Sometimes results generate a bit of head scratching- first loads with RL26 loaded to 2.990” coal 63 gn = 2622 rather underwhelming to say the least. Read the Litz article and increased coal to 3.125 just off the lands 63 gn produced 2820. It surprised me that the change in coal increased pressure/velocity that much. I did change from a magneto speed to the garmin in between times but don’t feel that influenced outcome.

    Closer to the lands less pressure escaping in front of the projectile not uncommon your sitting at a primo speed for performance with that pill you’ll have nothing but good times with it I’d say your velocity is right where it wants to be
